All is not well at the Majani Insurance Brokers as employees now claim they are not being treated fairly by the management. A member of staff who spoke to The Weekly Vision on strict condition of anonymity for fear of victimization claimed that there is nepotism and blatant oppression by the firm’s rogue directors.
The insurance provider is a subsidiary of the troubled Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) and is an independent insurance broker catering for both businesses and individual clients. The oppressed staff claim that supervisors force them to work overtime shifts, especially during weekends, without proper compensation in the form of overtime and other allowances as prescribed by the labour laws.
On nepotism, staff with connections with top managers are spared the oppression as they enjoy other benefits. They rely on their godfathers who hold top positions in the company. Those without connections and godfathers are subjected to very inhumane working conditions.
This uninspiring situation has badly affected staff morale, with grave consequences by them expected soon. They are now planning to down their tools to force the management to look into their grievances.
